Hello again,
I've been doing a bunch or turning while waiting for my knots and learning lots while I'm at it, but I have another question.
Right now I'm working with oak, which I'm pretty sure is making for a very steep learning curve. Anyways, the grain of the oak has layers with a very porous grain. This makes for rough edges (which I'm getting good at sanding out) but also voids.
I tried filling them with a thick CA gel but it took a very long time to dry and I ruined a piece by sanding it to soon.
My next try is going to be using a clear grain filler. Aqua coat I can get locally for a good price.
My question is: will I have trouble using ca glue over top of a grain filler? Has anyone tried this before? I bought a thin glue and accelerator for my next try.
Thanks again, I'll post in my other thread soon when I have a brush to show!
